There were a lot of solid performances in NBA action last night. Ageless wonder Tim Duncan threw in 21 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in San Antonio’s thumping of Milwaukee. Kevin Love notched 26 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists for the second time in as many nights. And Russell Westbrook had […]

It’s a given that sports uniforms are going to get ripped or otherwise destroyed from time to time. After all, it’s sports, not chess. But shouldn’t they be able to handle basic tugs and pulls? Well, you would think. But I guess they don’t make them like they used to. Case in point: last night […]

On Sunday night, the Sacramento Kings made headlines for something having to do with basketball (as opposed to their ownership struggles) for the first time in years. How’d they do that? By acquiring big-time scorer Rudy Gay from Toronto in a seven-player deal. However, last night it wasn’t their new star who made a highlight […]

In general, proposing to your girlfriend at a sporting event is a bad idea. However, there are a few exceptions to the rule. First, if you are sure your girl lives, eats, drinks, and breathes the team in question (and you’ve run the idea by her best friend and her mom to triple-check), then it […]

This past August, the Milwaukee Bucks showed 25-year-old center Larry Sanders just how much they value his stellar defense by signing him to a four-year, $44 million extension. So how did he repay his team? Why, he got into a brawl at a club and injured his hand, of course. The brawl went down at […]

Last night, prior to a regular season match-up between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the San Antonio Spurs, Mexico City Arena went up in smoke. Most people have pointed to a malfunctioning generator as the cause, but one dude who goes by the name of St. Nick Pants has another theory. Check it out:

I’ve seen sporting events get delayed for all sorts of reasons. Inclement weather is obviously the most common, but technical glitches—like the lights going out—aren’t particularly unusual either. You know what is unusual? A smoke delay. That’s what the NBA got last night in Mexico. The San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves were supposed to […]

Last night basketball fans were treated to a possible preview of the Western Conference Finals when the Portland Trail Blazers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. It turned out to be a tight battle between these two powerhouses from out west, but in the end it was the Blazers who would emerge victorious thanks to the […]

Two weekends ago, we showed you footage of a dance battle that broke out in the stands during a break in the action at the Pistons-Knicks game in Auburn Hills, Michigan. That epic contest between two worthy competitors easily took the spotlight away from the actual game, which was a sub-par contest between two unworthy […]

Last night, the Detroit Pistons traveled to Miami where they snapped the Dwyane Wade-less Heat’s 10-game winning streak. Did the Pistons embarrass the Heat? No, not exactly. However, losing to the Pistons (now 8-10) by any score is slightly embarrassing for the two-time defending champs. And there certainly was one very embarrassing moment for one […]

Given that most of their videos have somewhere between 20 and 70 million views, chances are you’re familiar with YouTube channel “Epic Rap Battles of History.” However, just in case you aren’t, let me break it down for you: they take two famous people from history and have them engage in a rap battle. There […]

This past summer, after the Boston Celtics traded away stars Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry, everyone immediately started using the “R” word fans hate so much—rebuilding. Then they hired Brad Stevens away from Butler, and people started using the “T” word that the NBA hates so much—tanking. Whether or not the Celtics were hoping for a last place […]

Having a system that can hear, see, and smell your every noise, movement, and scent, like the Xbox One, can be pretty cool (okay, we lied about the smell and scent part), but it doesn’t always work out to be a good thing. That is especially the case for those foul-mouthed individuals out there, as […]

You know that guy Andrew Wiggins, who everyone said was going to be the #1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft even before he stepped onto the floor of the Kansas Jayhawks’ practice facility this summer? Well, despite hailing from Toronto, Canada, Wiggins graduated high school from Huntington Prep in West Virginia. Huntington is basically […]

Every great athlete has a nickname. Some are more well-known than others, of course, whether it’s because they just roll off the tongue or because they so perfectly fit the player. But almost every athlete has picked one up somewhere along the line, and NBA players are no exception. Unfortunately, not everyone is a Hall […]
